Succulent plants are iconic components of the florae of many terrestrial ecosystems, but
despite having caused fascination and prompted investigation for centuries, they still …

Clonal plants play key roles in maintaining community productivity and stability in many
ecosystems. Connected individuals (ramets) of clonal plants can translocate and share, for …

This report synthesizes all aspects of the taxonomy, distribution, history of introduction and
spread, ecological constrains (including preferred climate, substratum and habitats) …

Biological invasions represent one of the most important threats to biodiversity conservation
at a global scale. What makes a plant to be a successful invader is a question not completely …

Microplastics are heterogeneously distributed in soils. However, it is unknown whether soil
microplastic heterogeneity affects plant growth and root foraging responses and whether …

Premise Biological invasions and climate change are major threats to biodiversity. It is
therefore important to anticipate how the climate changes projected for Southern Europe …

Clonal plants can make up a disproportionately high number of the introduced, invasive
plant species in a region. Physiological integration of connected ramets within clones is a …

Invasive alien plant species have become dominant components of many landscapes,
where they are indicators of ecological disequilibria. They coexist and compete with native …

Resource sharing among connected ramets (ie clonal integration) is one of the distinct traits
of clonal plants. Clonal integration confers Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) a …

Despite the recent discoveries on how DNA methylation could help plants to adapt to
changing environments, the relationship between epigenetics and climate change or …
